Location Castle Hill is situated in the small hamlet of Duntish which is within the parish of the village of Buckland Newton which has an excellent village shop, primary school, the parish Church of the Holy Rood, the Gaggle of Geese public house and an active community. It is situated conveniently between the county town of Dorchester and the abbey town of Sherborne both of which have a good range of shops, schools, restaurants and main line railway stations to London Waterloo. The breath taking Dorset coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is just 15 miles. The Property Castle Hill which was believed to have been built around 1870, was formerly the coach house and stables to Duntish Court and is a most attractive building arranged in a courtyard with distinctive red brick elevations under a slate roof. Duntish Court was understood to have been built around 1760 and created by Sir William Chambers, but was demolished along with many other notable properties in the last century. Castle Hill forms part of the original grounds of Duntish Court and is situated in a glorious elevated position with fine views over its own paddock to the undulating West Dorset countryside beyond.
Over the last 2 years the property has undergone complete renovation and now provides an outstanding, high specification, contemporary conversion within this handsome period building. The accommodation is principally arranged over two floors, the central portion being a magnificent, double height living space incorporating kitchen, dining and living areas. The two storey wings on either side provide bedroom, work, storage and recreational space and the layout has been cleverly designed to provide flexible accommodation, suitable for sub dividing into independent spaces if required, the north east corner having an independent access point.
